Bin bei der für diesen Abend schon vergeben - bitte nicht böse zu sein, dass ich Ihre lieben Einladung abermals nicht Folge leisten kann. Bitte um gütige Entschuldigung! Ich habe schon ,Pech wie ich sehe und Sie werden mich nicht mehr einladen! Bitte um NachsichtWünsche angenehme Feiertage. […]"translation:I am already committed for this evening - please don't be upset that I cannot accept your kind invitation. I kindly ask for your understanding! I seem to have bad luck, as I see it, and you will not invite me anymore! Please forgive me. Wishing you pleasant holidays.In literary history, she is primarily known as Arthur Schnitzler's last life companion. After his death, Pollaczek worked on delineating her life with him based on her diaries from 1924 to 1931 and her correspondence with Schnitzler. She titled her 990-page typescript 'Arthur Schnitzler und ich'. Research on the work of the writer, which would allow her to emerge from the 'shadow of Schnitzler', is still lacking.
